I give it a month before the whole EU collapses now that we’ve left
Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

Ah, I’d not factored weekends into my calculations ... 3 weeks ?
Especially if we decide not to align our financial services rules with theirs!

The point is you are making statements Of apparent fact on the future of EU and us based on being out for ten days ??
What “Statements of apparent fact” do you mean Phil?...“been gone 10 days and it’s already falling apart.”?
Really more of a throwaway line than a statement of fact.?

Isn’t that an annual thing in France?
Hardly due to the mighty British one man exodus!

I don’t think they are missing us at all
But I am sure they are loving the HS2 fun and games, getting a bit blue on blue but Brunel was correct about wide gauge and increased stability for high speed.
It’s what the majority wanted

That statement of apparent fact
How can you state what will be true or not after 10 days

If the EU did somehow collapse because of Brexit, how would that in anyway prove anything but the fact that Brexit was a monument disaster?
If the EU splits then how many trade deals do we need after that, many with tiny countries who will almost surely enter financial instability without their EU support.
Think, people. Think.

As times goes on it’s clear that what many people actually want is for people in the EU to suffer every bit as much as they want us to prosper. It’s actually scary how sociopathic these views are.

Certain people have a lot of anger and they need to unload it. And now they can't blame the EU for interfering in our laws, economy, banana shapes etc etc it needs to be focused somewhere.
I think there are similar numbers of hardcore remainers who seem to revel in any bad news numbers that the UK releases as though it proves that we should have stayed in. Are they any different? You see what you want to see.

I said before it all happened that sadly there’ll be an element of “Told you so” and I won’t pretend to be immune to it but I think there’s a small difference in that we brought this on ourselves so we deserve whatever we get. These other countries may suffer because of us.

I think many would argue that the EU brought Brexit on themselves as well. Had they given Cameron a little something when he went to see them then UKIP may have been fought off. Instead, they humiliated him, gave Farage a huge boost and he was pressured into a referendum. Each country in the EU is largely looking after themselves, they are not looking out for the greater good. Brexit was years in the making, it was not an overnight happening.
People can play this game backwards and forwards but ultimately we are where we are. The finger pointing needs to end, we all need to have a factory reset

The EU as a concept is fine but the fact that Brussels has miss-managed the finances and decreased the elected representative's powers is the core problem. Member states are not happy at the 'centres' excessive budget rises: Germany’s payments could increase from £13.5bn to £22.8bn, Netherlands and Austria contributions could almost double.
If you lived in any of these countries would you be happy, bearing in mind that the EU's NATO support is still below the agreed requirement !
